Project Responder 6 Fact Sheet

Project Responder 6 (PR 6) is a coordinated effort across first responder disciplines to identify and validate common needs. This latest iteration of an effort that began in 2001 brings together responders from traditional (i.e., fire service, law enforcement, emergency medical services (EMS), emergency management (EM)) and non-traditional (e.g., public health, public works, medical examiner/coroner, search and rescue) response agencies. The study identified six distinct factors that may have an impact on responders’ operating environment: human behavior, technology advancement, environment, infrastructure, COVID-19, and protest/civil unrest.
